    Lightbulb Plane Crash Confessions - TGR Forum Style

    When people think their plane is crashing they often want to come clean before the end and spill the wildest stuff.

    TGR seems to be going down like a Boeing - what do you want to own up to before this thing hits ground?

    I could've fixed the forum, brought back the tags, and shipped everyone a free pair of Jerantulas and a TGR bathrobe, with a snap of the fingers like Thanos - -

    -- but I didn't feel like it.

    Maybe Trump would loan the latest bribe he received..the 747 from Qatar ..then all we would need is a huge treadmill
    what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

    New Order seem skeptical of your plans.

    IMS, one argument is that the plane WOULD crash, right into the treadmill!

    Said treadmill may require more than the power of a single box fan, but we could take a run at it, I bet.

    Gillian Gilbert has been there from the start (of New Order, she wasn&#39;t part of Joy Division).&nbsp; She&#39;s married to the drummer, Stephen Morris.&nbsp; They did an album in the early &#39;90s calling themselves &quot;The Other Two&quot; -- this was when Electronic was happening (Sumner + Johnny Marr, Neil Tennant) and Revenge (Peter Hook&#39;s band).</p>

    I&#39;m going to see New Order the day after tomorrow, at Cruel World in Pasadena!</p>

    This year's isn't quite as compelling as some of the past years, but still a lot of bands I'm excited to see. Never seen Madness, Midge Ure, Alison Moyet, or Blancmange before. Go-Go's and OMD are really good live. And looking forward to the Cult doing an all-early-stuff set of Death Cult and Dreamtime era songs.

    Midge and Blacmange caught my eye. Hadn’t heard those names in decades.

    thought I was gonna die in a plane crash but it hasn&#39;t happened

    a week ago was landing at denver and the plane is about to touch down and we just shoot back up in the air pretty fast

    make a big circle and try again fifteen minutes later pilot gets on the speaker and tells us that it was the smoothest aborted landing he&#39;s ever done

    guess there was a plane in the runway kinda in our way

    another time we were landing in guayaquil which is surrounded by city with not much space for error

    I&#39;m sitting there like we are going way too fast as we are landing the looking out the window it seems like half the runway is already behind us

    sure enough wheels touch down and we take back off opps yeah too fast

    spent the past couple weeks on these shitty little planes one after another as we island hopped two pilots and eight people

    I could touch the pilot the sign at check in where we get weighed in so they can figure out where we sit says if you have a gun on you just let us know please

    those things bounced all over like holy hell I swear we were going sideways as we lifted off


    I confess I&#39;m scared I&#39;m gonna die in a plane crash

    I flew seaport air to Seattle for a meeting one time. It was maybe a six- passenger airplane and we had heavy winds when we were landing, wound up landing kind of crab wise while I made diamonds in my sphincter. I mentioned it to our client and she laughed it off. Apparently she grew up in Alaska flying puddle jumpers everywhere and didn't consider things alarming unless the plane was on fire or upside down.

    Crabwise in a narrow body jet as was the fashionable ride outta BTV in the very early 90s will definitely exercise your sphincter. That was just the icing on the cake to a very sketchy ride. Ive told the whole story here before so I won't tell the whole thing again. It began with me getting on the plane higher than a fucking kite. Like having trouble speaking my native language kinda high. It end with a mostly sideways hop hop hop hop kinda landing. They made us empty our pockets of sharp objects, take off any eyewear, etc and gave us all pillows and assume the crash position. Ive never seen a flight attendant that shade of white and move that fast before, or since thankfully. The funny part was that even if i could have formed a complete sentence, not only did i not have anything i felt like confessing, there was nobody sitting within many rows. The plane was very empty.
    I see hydraulic turtles.

    Forums seem to be working. Kinda.
    I really don't like this thread title. Some of you may remember why.
    No longer stuck.
